School year sent home-what guidance have others been given in this situation??

[Donuts000]

My daughter has been sent home for 14 days due to a case in her year.

They are saying she needs to self isolate, should she be in our family bubble or should she be isolated on her own (I don't think that's fair). We have been given no guidance.

I am due to have treatment at hospital next week so I have to keep away from her but I have isolated myself rather than her so my partner can see her.

I wish there was more info from public health or the school, we have only been told low risk of transmission whatever that means, no idea of when the child who was positive was last in school but I assume if there had been close contact we would have been contacted by track and trace by now.

What guidance have other parents been given if their child has been sent home??

Thanks

Both my children have been sent home to isolate for 14 days - one in KS3 (class isolation) one in KS4 (whole year).

The guidance is ridiculously confusing, and is focussed on someone who has symptoms, who has been contacted by track and trace, or who has had a positive test - none of which are the case for us.

I know parents who are keeping their children in the house for 14 days, and trying to stay separate; parents who are minimising contact but allowing outside under certain conditions (e.g. walks in remote areas); and even some who are just leaving their kids to do whatever (partly because they have to go to work). Some parents have even taken their kids to the school playground to pick up their other kids.

I have no faith that this won't happen repeatedly, and tbh its worse than the previous lockdown. Not letting young people to get any exercise for a 14 week period, and then sending them back to school where there only needs to be 1 in 150 who gets a positive test before it all starts again.

Hi, it's 1 in 300 for us at the moment but hopefully won't happen again with smaller lunch bubbles, it must be a nightmare for the school to manage. I've seen kids in her year walk past the house in a group so it's bound to spread. Public health need to communicate better to parents that they have to keep they kids at home or risk a big fine. So many people believe the virus isn't a problem anymore or "they shouldn't be told what to do" it's ridiculous, I think a big fine is the only thing they will listen to

... and yes I noticed that, the guidances only covers people with symptoms which none of us have. People are thinking their kids have no symptoms so can go out but they could be asymptotic and no one would know. None of it was/is ever going to work without proper test, track and trace and smaller bubbles

....asymptomatic even!!!

[quote Augustbreeze]@Donuts000 you could read the "paused" NHS guidance for those shielding on how to keep separate within the home too, although it's not for the faint-hearted! Eg can she use a separate bathroom?[/quote]
....a symptomatic even, bloomin autocorrect!

My DC are in year bubbles
DD's year have a confirmed case but only the form group have to self isolate not the whole year (or the form teacher) despite the fact the whole year is mixed for all classes
If DD has to self isolate, DS will also have to and vice versa
If they have symptoms a negative test is required for their return to school and the whole family has to SI
